I don't think I have activated personalisation - my name doesn't appear
anywhere ... after logging in the "Login" changes to "Logged in via 
University of Liverpool" and I get a "Logout" option ... the top right
option is "Go to SciVal Suite" .... I'll have to try and remember to
try from home rather than work as the IP of my machine is UoL and must
be recognised as such since I get a "Brought to you by: University of 
Liverpool Library" .... so perhaps that is the source of my particular
problem here ...

... just tried from my mobile and I don't get "Activate personalisation"
or a very obvious login ... eventually got to a login link - which gets
me (eventually) to my shib login and then to exactly the same page as
from my desktop machine and a search gives me the same results too ...
so clearly the UoL IP isn't the issue ...
